Good news, gentlemen: Martha Stewart is looking for a regular “male companion”

Martha Stewart has always been a bit of a hot tamale, even if we’re more used to her as the super vanilla eternal grandma who can transform your home to a delicious, craft-filled heaven. Just because she may have made a name for herself among the more straight-laced crowd doesn’t mean she’s not in her sexual prime, and with that in mind, you might be pleased to know that she’s looking for a permanent man friend to share her days with.

“I’m looking for a partner,” she says matter-of-factly from a test kitchen at her New York headquarters. Surrounded by cast iron pots and pans, fresh herbs, and a bowl of fragrant lemons—her favorite—the 72-year-old business maven seems utterly in her element. Her no-nonsense, stone-faced demeanor has been replaced by a noticeable softness, one that only comes from a place of comfort, and dare we say, vulnerability. “Love will have something to do with it I’m sure,” she continues, a wry smile beginning to form. “I’d love to have a more regular male companion.”

With enviable looks and sharp business acumen, Stewart can surely have her pick of suitors, but the key, she says, is finding someone “appropriate.” “An amenable kind of person,” she clarifies. “There are plenty of people who I could date that would be inappropriate. Married men, for example.”

Oh snap, get it Martha! Frankly, I’m surprised she isn’t already married. She’s a lovely woman and always has been, physically speaking, but more than that, she seems intelligent, she can cook, she’d make your house gorgeous… what else are men after? Beer and sex? I’m sure she’d do some crazy Kama Sutra shit with you and then bring you an artisan ale from a hidden brewery in a magical forest. Get with it, dudes.
